Re: AMD "ryzen" performance.

I will look into it definately. But since I am no REAL tech freak, I will probably go for a single GPU - if I can scrape enough dimes and quarters together....

Not really. But sometimes I wish it were true though...I really get some "beating" at my job once a while...But thatīs the price of responsibility...I am always at work...But at the other hand, I am more secure in this job...

Re: AMD "ryzen" performance.

The 1700 is running at 3.625ghz, 2667mhz dram
The 5960X is running at 4.25ghz, 3000mhz dram
Both are running Linux and crunching FAAH on WCG.
The 1700 is pulling 173W at the wall, and the 5960X is pulling 305W
The cost of my entire 1700 system with a nice case and an AIO cooler was still less than what i paid for the 5960X
